This has been the craziest and most exciting transfer window in ages. Fashioned out of the financial issues caused in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, clubs have been more open than ever about selling players.
We have seen an incredible amount of players swap clubs this summer. We witnessed plenty of expensive deals going over the line and transfer records being broken. Premier League clubs, in particular, have been quite enterprising about bolstering their squads this summer.
We had a deadline day that matched the overall energy of this summer's transfer window. All hell broke loose in the final hours of the window with multiple high-profile deals being negotiated and finalized.Without further ado, let's take a look at five of the best transfer deals conducted on deadline day.Following Lionel Messi's departure, Ronald Koeman has been keen to bolster his attack. With Sergio Aguero ruled out until October, the Catalans were starting to get desperate about signing another forward.
They managed to sign Dutch striker Luuk de Jong from Sevilla. The 31-year-old joins Barcelona on a season-long loan deal. The Catalans will pay him his wages in full and they have the option of making the deal permanent at the end of the 2021-22 campaign.
Barcelona were also linked with Edinson Cavani and Joao Felix on deadline day. De Jong's is a last-minute deal and he has not been in good goalscoring form either. He scored nine goals and provided an assist in 48 appearances across all competitions last term.
